SMS is for people to make money!
But e-mail is forward to people for free

Why are they doing this?

I don't know, maybe too free. Maybe they are able to generate money out of it? Anyway, can't be bother.

i also dun understand... but i guess the purpose is to share with others words of encouragement.. but then, they make it sound as if we are obligated too... in a way like, threatening me ar...

like kochun, i dun forward any crap emails... but the ones that's super meaningful i will forward, but guess what I do.. i delete the part where it says "if u dun forward this blah blah blah".... :) all crap!

i try not to forward anything to anyone lah... i'm one of those rather unsentimental people. someone send me something that's cute, i say awwwww, i reply and thank them, hten i DELETE!!!

and if chain mail i delete without even reading. so then they can't "threaten" me because i delete oredi without reading. :smile-2:

This totem has been sent to you to protect you from chain mail. You

don't need to keep it or send it to anyone else for it to work. It will

render all chain mail sent to you absolutely powerless, eliminating the

need to send them to anyone else. Furthermore, your luck will increase

tenfold if you send any future chain letter to the trash and not to

anyone else. If you get a chain letter that says "Pass this on for

luck" and you trash it, you will receive much joy. If you get a chain

letter that says "Pass this on or receive bad luck" and you trash it,

you will bring much joy to others and receive NO bad luck. This is true,

even if you are not superstitious.



Good luck, but please remember: If you send this out to your friends

you may send no more chain letters. If you DON'T send this out to your

friends you may send no more chain letters. If you don't follow either

of the two rules above you will be a slave to superstition and you will

irritate all your friends.



Totem says:

You will always be "lucky" no matter what you get in mail or e-mail.

You will never have misfortune from not sending mail or e-mail.

You will stop being superstitious and stop irritating friends with

lame mail.

Totem loves you. Obey Totem.

If it's short, then most probably I will read too. If too long, then sorry lah. Straight away delete, don't want to waste time reading it.

There is another crap. So and so need money for medical or her child got so and so sickness and need money or blood donation. Normally I will called up the number provided there. So far, i have check 2 cases and that company don't even have this staff working there. so i know it's a prank.

that's terrible coz you can't weed out what's true or not in cases like this...
and no one is going to check and verify on every single one of these...

siewjang

I will usually check them before forwarding to others. Some ppl just don't bother and it will go round and round and back to us again. I even send a note to the sender telling them about the prank and next thing they will start forwarding again a new one. They don't seem to learn from lesson.

Wah.. respect you.. you even bother to call the numbers? Usually I'll just delete the mail.
Maybe you can reply to them if need donations, go see Michael Chong! :p

I got a lot of chain mails in the past. Then, one day, I was having a really bad day and I got this moronic chain email. I replied (reply to all) to that chain mail with a piece of my mind.

The sender was not very happy. AHAHAHA.. cannot remember who sent it liao.. AHAHAHA...

That was fun!!

not really F*CK the sender up lar.. but replied with strong words. thehehehehe...

I think it is really stupid. Dun these people know that putting a curse on someone (which essentially is what these chain emails do ... ie. send this to 10000001 other people or else your little 'friend' will dry up and drop off) will in turn receive ten fold back?

Send la something more productive like the latest Japan AV models. :P
